Comment 0 for bug 2065506

The speakers seem to suffer from a distinct latency problem, where whenever I play something (it can be a YouTube or Reddit video, in Firefox, but also the test sound samples in settings), nothing comes out for the first 1-2 seconds, then I hear a distinct "click" sound coming from the (first left, then right) speakers, then the sound plays normally.

It's as if the speaker where in "sleep mode," and whenever I play something, they first need to wake up and starts playing the actual sound.

Did not happened on other distros (Debian 12 or Fedora 39).
